You know her, you love her. She's The Girl Next Door with the inside track on the weather.

She's Hollie Giangreco, meteorologist on WKYC-TV's "Channel 3 News Today," which gets a bright-and-early (4:30am) start every weekday morning. She also co-hosts that station's "Live on Lakeside" broadcasts on weekdays starting at 11am.

"Wait a minute," you say. "That's Hollie Strano."

Yep, it sure is. Same bubbly lady, new name. Unless you've left your television off all summer long, you know that the Lyndhurst native and John Carroll University grad got married to a Floridian named Alex Giangreco in June.

Fortunately for the former Strano, her husband shares a fondness for a lot of her favorite things—namely the beach, flip-flops and all of the things related to cooking, entertaining, eating and dining out.

"I guess you could say I'm a bit of a cheeseburger-and-fries girl," she told Cleveland.com in an interview earlier this month.

"It does mean extra time in the gym for me, but they're just so good. I love a good cheeseburger. I love food. What can I say?"

When we asked Giangreco for her favorite dining spots for this "5 for Friday" installment, she was both eager and quick with her list. No hemming or hawing. It was like she was getting ready to deliver a five-day forecast of incredible weather. She was ready.

"I'm really honored that you asked me," Giangreco laughed. "This will be fun. You'll have to let me know when [the story] is going to run. I admit that I still dork out about things like this—I'm still that girl! You know, I'll have to show my Mom!"

Hey, Mom. Here's Hollie's favorite five, in her own words:

B-Spot (multiple locations, www.bspotburgers.com). No surprise it's number one, right? OK, I'm a bit of a creature of habit. And I'm also a big fan of cheeseburgers. And B-Spot always scratches that itch for me. I always get the Thin Lizzy, which [Michael Symon] named after his wife. It's a very typical burger [style], delicious, old school. Nothing crazy going on with it, ya know? Honestly, I don't like food that gets too crazy! (laughs) Just give me a real cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo and pickles and I'm good to go. No goose liver or caviar or anything! Straight-up delicious.

Red the Steakhouse (two locations, www.redthesteakhouse.com). I love Red. I am realizing that I'm going to be all over the map with this list! I love both locations. I'm big on the downtown location because it is close, but the Richmond [Road in Beachwood] location is great, too. I love their steaks, oysters, andClams Casino has to be a favorite. But my tastes are all over the road. I have to say, their sides are great; their corn is stupid good, and so are the au gratin potatoes. When we go there, people are like, "wow, you can eat all of this!" Yup, I do! (laughs)

Urban Farmer (1325 East Sixth St., Cleveland; 216-771-7707, www.urbanfarmercleveland.com). This place is great, it's new and I love it. Urban Farmer is in the bottom of the [Westin] hotel, it's amazing and I am obsessed. They have great cheese platters and appetizers, very fresh. We can do a lot of lighter fare, appetizer-type eating, there, too. Which is great. I had a shrimp special there recently which was dynamite. Good specials. They've really knocked our socks off. They source local ingredients there, the atmosphere is really great—it's something you'd expect in Chicago or New York. Highly recommended, and the hotel is really cool and pretty, too.

Fahrenheit (2417 Professor Ave., Cleveland; 216-781-8858, www.chefroccowhalen.com/fahrenheit-cleveland). Speaking of obsessed, there's this place. I love Tremont and Ohio City a lot, and there are so many great places in those neighborhoods, but I am in love Rocco [Whelan]'s place. From the bacon at the bar, to every dish he makes. I love the ravioli and the short ribs. Anything Rocco cooks is amazing, basically. I don't know if he does it year-round yet, but that pumpkin ravioli [on the fall menu] with the sage butter sauce? Wow. Really good. Always a good place.

The Local Tavern (multiple locations; www.local-tavern.com). We hit the original on Chardon Road [in Willoughby Hills]. They have amazing, homemade and delicious food, soups—I love the stuffed cabbage soup, and the chicken tortilla soup. It's a basic menu... it's comfort food, home-cooking. I have tried to mimic and recreate their soups at home, but it's not quite the same. Even if I wouldn't normally get their soup of the day, I get it there. Cool patio, amazing friendly people, great wings... and all reasonably-priced. Plus, it's just up the street from me! And they have great burgers. What could be better? (laughs)
